Wasted resources –precious materials and re-useable products are being wasted in landfill sites.

Products produced with a limited life e.g. fast fashion and non-repairable electrical goods, together with damaged returned goods or faulty goods are increasing the waste sent to landfill.

Lack of information within the supply chain – to be able to resolve resource issues.

Consumer behaviour – while some are demanding more reliable and better quality products through increased awareness, others lack the knowledge about the impact of their wasteful behaviour or how to change.

Solution – transforming global markets

Ensuring you follow a rigorous resource efficient business model (REBM) process is essential to ensure you develop a successful REBM which is right for your business and its market.

How REBus can make a difference

REBus was set up to test the methodology in practical, real-life situations by suppliers and procurers in the UK and the Netherlands.

By sharing the lessons learned from the 30 pilot projects, it is hoped that businesses and organisations will be inspired to take action by adopting REBMs and contributing to a more circular economy.
